Short summary
Forests provide ecosystem services and biodiversity, but they are increasingly affected by disturbances. We evaluate five forest disturbance datasets across the Unites States to assess their consistency in space, timing, and disturbance agents. While datasets show good agreement in disturbance timing, spatial overlap and agent attribution differ substantially. This emphasizes the need for enhanced data quality assessment, integration, and accuracy to better understand forest disturbances.
